Help me identify rear components so I am 100% BMR related
I have had the worlds worst luck when it comes to suspension on this damn car. I started out with replacing everything with regular BMR stuff and decided to go with an airlift system so I went out and replaced everything with fully adjustable control and trailing arms. I didnt like air ride on my daily so a week or 2 later I pulled it off. :( I was running 305/25-20 Nittos that just wouldnt hook so I took the car to a very reputable Chevy dealer for a full alignment and $805 later well the car pulled to the right a bit and wheel is not straight. Well aint that a bitch. I buy the best of the best, go to a dealer, and well I am still screwed. Well 10K miles later I need new rear tires because of uneven wear so I go with 305/30-20 Nittos and the tire on my driver side is rubbing a little on fender. AWESOME!! Now I am thinking of just replacing #1/2/3 which are all adjustable once again back to fixed arms and hope any decent alignment shop can get it right. Just so I am 100% Is it safe to say :
#1 TR007 Toe Rod #2 UTCA058 Upper Trailing arm #3 UTCA061 Upper Control arm #4 UTCA059 Lower trailing arm

BMR website gives a number of TCA059 for the lower trailing arm.
I went with all fixed arms for partly the reason you're talking about. Seems like it's a whole lot of opportunity to mess something up and I'm no where close to being a good enough driver to need to fine tune my setup to that degree. I can only imagine your frustration here. Good luck |

LOL me and you both. Man this thing is my fricking daily driver. I should of just left it all alone. Here's what I am going to do. Pull off all the adjustable shit, get fixed parts from BMR again lol, and a set of coilovers. Done! That will cost me about $1600. Sell all this stuff for about $1K and call it a day

I am sure going that direction will work for you, lot less moving parts. It's basically what I have, BMR fixed arms and toe rods, silvers coilovers,
I can't imagine the average shop wouldn't be able to get an alignment dialed in after that. |

Im not sure of anything lol. I am sure that the dealer charged me $805 in labor to "try" and align with no luck. I am a simple man. Just put fixed shit and call it a day lol. I am sure this stuff will sell quick

Man, I can't even imagine getting a bill for $805 for an alignment ... AND ITS WRONG??? Man ...
I have a shop here in Petaluma I like, they've done a good job aligning my car. There's not too many places I trust, I haven't been to a dealer since the car was new. |

Have a reputable shop that specializes in performance alignments do the work. Your average dealership is just going to get in the spec window and send it. You want a symmetrical alignment, with 0 thrust angle in the back

Oh trust me boys this is a very well known dealer. here in Norcal. I have family in Santa Rosa I have been meaning to visit. Perhaps I make a trip to Petaluma for this. Honestly I no longer commute and WFH. The Camaro gets me around town and is my daily but hell I didnt even leave yesterday so not a big deal. I appreciate the support though.
